朝不保暮 [cháo bù bǎo mù] [chao bu bao mu]—
It's hard to guarantee safety in the evening if you're safe in the morning. It's a metaphor for a precarious situation. Han Dynasty, Zhu Mu (朱穆 [zhu mu]), "Reply to the Emperor Memorial on Liang Ji (梁冀 [liang ji])": "Some sell their fields and houses, some die under the whip, some harm themselves due to pressing demands. The small and large are helpless, and morning cannot guarantee evening." "First Slaps the Table in Amazement" Volume 20: "And there are those people who, if they are serving the heavenly way, acting as generals on the border, wearing heavy armor, holding spears, cannot rest day and night, and whose lives are precarious (死生 [si sheng])." Also written as "朝不保夕 [chao bu bao xi]" (cháo bù bǎo xī, morning cannot guarantee evening).
朝不保暮：早上難保晚上仍平安無事。比喻情況危急難保。漢．朱穆〈復奏記梁冀〉：「或賣用田宅，或絕命于箠楚之下，或自賊于迫切之求，大小無聊，朝不保暮。」《初刻拍案驚奇》卷二○：「還有那一等人，假如當此天道，為將邊庭，身披重鎧，手執戈矛，日夜不能安息，又且死生朝不保暮。」也作「朝不保夕」。
